# Energy System Technology Data

This script compiles assumptions on energy system technologies (such

as costs, efficiencies, lifetimes, etc.)  for chosen years

(e.g. [2020, 2030, 2050]) from a variety of sources into CSV files to

be read by energy system modelling software. The merged outputs have

standardized cost years, technology names, units and source information. For further information about the structure and how to add new technologies, see the [documentation](https://technology-data.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).

The outputs are used in

[PyPSA-Eur](https://github.com/PyPSA/pypsa-eur) and [PyPSA-Earth](https://github.com/pypsa-meets-earth/pypsa-earth).
